WHAT MAKES THE EXHIBITION PARTICULARLY
NOTEWORTHY
Is the fact that all the fruits included in it
mature so much earlier in the north
ern than in the southern part of the
State. Los Angeles, it will be remembered,
held similar fair here last March,
over two months later than the present
venture. A very elaborate and successful
Citrus Fair was held at Sacramento, the
commercial center of the northern section,
commencing on December 18th, and the
exhibit there has been brought to this city
and now forms the Citrus Fair here The
fact of this fruit being now i'll prime order
goes to show It's fine keeping qualities. The
display is attracting much attention, and
will doubtless continue to attract many
visitors. Mayor Harrison was expected to
have delivered an opening address last
evening, but indisposition prevented. The
fair. it is understood, will be continued for

CHICAGO, December 3lst-P. A.-Ths
Citrus Fair Of Northern and Central Cali
fornia was formally opened at 81 Washing
ton street this evening. Notwithstanding
the storm there was an encouragingly large
and representative attendance. In add
ton to the general public for whose ben
eft the fair is principally designed, con-
siderable sprinkling of railroad officials
and local fruit merchants were present.
To say that the exhibit is a surprise to the
people of this city-the latitude Of which
is but little north of some of the counties
in which these fruits were grown-would
be drawing it very mild. Those who have
already seen the display OF oranges, LEM
ons, olives, etc, taken from the trees IN
Northern California in the middle of De-
cember, and most of whom had labored
under the belief that such fruits could only
be produced in the southern counties of the
State, are extrayagant in their expressions
of surprise. And when assured that land
equal TO that on which these specimens
were grown can be had for from s. to $50
per acre, they hardly knew what to say

WATER GAS BY AN IMPROVED Process
A cheapened process for making water gas,
lately made public by communication to
the French Academy of Science, is arous-
ing much interest in Europe. 1t promises
to affect in no inconsiderable degree the
consumption of coal and modify some of
the processes of iron manufacture. A Jet
of superheated steam is directed into re-
tort filed with incandescent coke. The
oxygen unites with the carbon to form
carbonic oxide, and hydrogen is liberated.
Up to this point there is nothing new in
the process. But now these gases are led
away to second retort filed with Jumps
of some refractory substance maintained at
a red heat The use of the refractory ma
terials is to expose large surface TO the
incoming gases. Into this second retort
there is led, at the same time, jet of steam
superheated to the point of disassociation.
The oxygen of this steam seizes upon the
carbonic oxide to form dioxide, and more
hydrogen is liberated. To remove the car
bon dioxide. the gases are passed through
milk of lime, and the pure hydrogen is led
away to the reservoir The author of the
communication says that one ton of coke
produces about $1,000 feet of gas, which is
about eleven times the quantity obtained
from ton of coal.-Foreign Trade Gazette.

even Dickens was not wholly dead to it.
